Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrophotographic photosensitive member, and, particularly, to a function-separated type electrophotographic photosensitive member improved in image stability and potential stability.
- electrophotographic photosensitive members comprising inorganic photoconductive materials
- conventionally used are those employing selenium, cadmium sulfide, zinc oxide and so forth.
- electrophotographic photosensitive members comprising organic photoconductive materials
- organic photoconductive materials on the other hand, known are those employing a photoconductive polymer typified by poly-N-vinyl carbazole or a low molecular organic photoconductive material such as 2,5-bis(p-diethylaminophenol)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, or those wherein such organic photoconductive materials are combined with a variety of dyes or pigments.
- the electrophotographic photosensitive members employing organic photoconductive materials are advantageous in that they have good film-forming properties and can be produced by coating to have very high productivity to provide photosensitive members inexpensively. They are also advantageous in that the color-sensitivity can be controlled as desired, by selecting sensitizers such as dyes or pigments to be used, and therefore studies have hitherto been made in a wide range.
- function-separated type photosensitive members employing an organic photoconductive pigment in a charge generation layer and laminated with a so-called charge transport layer comprising the above photoconductive polymer or low molecular organic photoconductive material have been developed to have remarkably improved the sensitivity and durability in which the conventional organic electrophotographic photosensitive members have been considered defective, and they have been put into practical use.
- various compounds and pigments suited to the function-separated type photosensitive members have been discovered.
- Such function-separated type photosensitive members are disadvantageous in that a charge transporting material present in the charge transport layer constituting the surface layer of the photosensitive member is subject to adsorption of, or oxidation by, active components such as ozone generated by corona discharge, to cause a blur of an image when used repeatedly or cause a background fog of an image due to the accumulation of residual potential.
- An object of the present invention is to provide an electrophotographic photosensitive member suffering less blur of image or accumulation of residual potential caused, during repeated use, by the action of such active components generated upon corona discharge, and simultaneously having a high sensitivity.
- the present inventors have made intensive studies on the charge transporting material, and, as a result, have found that there is caused less blur of image or accumulation of residual potential if a charge transporting material having higher oxidation potential is used.
- a charge transporting material having higher oxidation potential is used as the charge transporting material.
- the injection performance of a carrier from the charge generation layer to the charge transport layer may be lowered to decrease the sensitivity at an initial stage, and thus there was room for further improvement.
- an electrophotographic photosensitive member comprising a conductive support, and at least a charge generation layer, a first charge transport layer containing a charge transporting material and a second charge transport layer containing a charge transporting material having higher oxidation potential than that of the charge transporting material contained in said first charge transport layer, which layers are successively laminated on said conductive support.

- Dispersion can be carried out by utilizing dispersion means such as a sand mill, a colloid mill, and attritor and a ball mill.
- the binder resin to be used may include polyvinyl butyral, formal resins, polyamide resins, polyurethane resins, cellulose resins, polyester resins, polysulfone resins, styrene resins, polycarbonate resins, acrylic resins, etc.
- the charge generation layer can be formed applying, by coating, the above dispersion on a conductive support directly or through a subbing layer.
- the charge generation layer may have a layer thickness of 5 ⁇ m or less, preferably from 0.01 to 1 ⁇ m to provide a thin film layer, desirably. It is required that most part of the amount of incident light is absorbed in the charge generation layer so that a large number of charge carriers can be formed, and also the charge carriers generated are injected in the charge transport layer without deactivation due to recombination or trapping. Therefore, it is preferable for the layer to have the above film thickness.
- Coating can be carried out by using coating methods such as dip coating, spray coating, spinner coating, bead coating, Meyer bar coating, blade coating, roller coating and curtain coating. Drying is preferably carried out by set to tough drying at room temperature, followed by heat drying. The heat drying can be carried out at a temperature of 30 ° C. to 200 ° C. for a period ranging between 5 minutes and 2 hours in a stationary state or under ventilation.
